Journal Title: International Journal of Surgery & Surgical Techniques - Year 2024, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Aortoiliac occlusive disease is a disabling illness. This study was conducted on the patients of Trans-Atlantic Society Consensus (TASC II) type C & D aortoiliac occlusive disease. Open surgical revascularization in the form of aortofemoral and aorto-bifemoral bypass grafting was done and the demography of patients of AIOD, the efficacy and outcomes of open surgical bypass in the patients of TASC II, type C & D aortoiliac occlusive disease was studied. Methods: in this study, total of 52 patients were revascularized and were observed for various parameters thoroughly throughout the course of diagnosis, preoperative, intra-operative and postoperative phase and until 6 months of follow-up. The demographics, clinical characteristics of the patients, co-morbid conditions, type of aorto-iliac occlusive disease (AIOD), the surgical procedure conducted and the outcomes of surgery in terms of limb salvageability, healing of ulcer, relief of claudication and graft patency were observed. Results: 50 (96.16%) out of 52 patients were males, with a mean age of presentation 55.01 + 8.58 years. 47 (90.38%) were smokers, 43 (82.69%) had hypertension, 17 (32.69%) had diabetes, 11 (21.15%) had CAD, 12 (23.07%) had COPD, 22 (42.30%) had type C and 30 (57.69%) patients had type D disease. Aorto-bifemoral bypass grafting was done in 42 (80.76%) . Mean duration of ICU stay was 1.9 days, 6 (11.53%) patients expired postoperatively. The graft patency and limb salvageability were 100% and 96.15% respectively during 1st, 3rd and 6th months of follow-up with complete healing of ulcers in 21 (91.30%) patients by the end of 6 months. Conclusion: Surgical revascularization is an important, high yielding, life changing intervention which serves as a boon for the patients with extensive or advanced aortoiliac disease. The surgery has excellent outcomes in terms of graft patency as well as limb salvageability.
